Nobel Prize

Pengalaman di Nobel Prize Museum



Surat wasiat Einstein pada anak dia..



Tempat mesyuarat pemilihan calon calon penerima Hadiah Nobel



Kanta pembesar yang pertama



Kompas yang pertama



Kalau ke Stockholm, tinggal lah di Old Town, mungkin di Archepelago Hostel ... sbb just a walking distance to this Museum and other interesting places.... jimat kos pengangkutan.. kekekeke...

After a year ....

30 september 2010 - a day that i will never forget .... somehow it does change the way i perceived life .... and i think i appreciate life better ... enjoy my weekends and breath the fullest as i could...



what should i do? claim for total lost? na... it will cost me more ...



we decided to collect all the pieces... i was informed total of repairing the damage cost nearly 50k!!! uishhh dapat kete sebijik yg baru...



it so sad... so bad ... and no more tears when i saw the car....



but i believe... ada hikmah disebalik ini semua....

CAR POEM by WM

After work
covered in grease
swigging beer
wiping sweat
off my brow
with my oily
stained shirt

Standing over
massive guts
of my car
racing sunlight
to get the beast running
to haul me to work
one more day

I reach my hands
down into the belly
of cables and steel
It feels
strange
in my hands

With each beer
it gets more fun
I’m like a
big kid with
a giant model

I turn the key
and it comes
roaring alive

These factory hands
have brought the dead
to life

Great

Now I have
no choice
but to go to work

Stockholm - Exchange Guard




Stockholm is a city of charm and very very expensive!!. We stayed at the Old Town (Gamla stan)...there are few bridges connecting to different districts..and it is also called the "town between the bridges".. adn the buidings are from the 13th century!!!.... sure kaki sakit cause perhaps the road was made of coble stones untuk kudda kuda..... and imagine laaaa ' berangan ' .... jalan jalan in medieval alleyways pakai baju kain kembang ala ala Little House in The Prairie hahahahahah

Then we went to the Royal Palace... where the Royal Guard marched with a military orchestra in the front through Stockholm city to change the guard with pomp konon nya they are protecting the castle.




Most of the guards are female... and macam PTD pulak cause they look so young and .. errr.... macam tak matang...... and on the other hand.. ada yg terlalu veteran untuk jadi guard!




Ni dari belakang..... :) comel comel laaa... but the exchange guard in London far more better than in stockholm.... nampak lebih kemas dan tegap as compared to stockholm punya... kekekeek jgn marah ya orang sweden...



Ok.. nanti YMRK update lagi ye...... ni nak concentrate ngan keje dulu :) :)

Pameran RekaCipta Penyelidikan dan Inovasi 2011

PRPI 2011 kini telah memasuki tahun penganjurannya yang ke-9. Pameran penyelidikan di UPM telah bermula sejak tahun 1997 semasa Exhibition & Seminar Harnessing for Industry Advantage. Pada tahun 2002, Pameran Reka Cipta dan Penyelidikan (PRP) buat pertama kali telah diadakan dengan menggunakan konsep pertandingan hasil projek penyelidikan yang telah dijalankan oleh para penyelidik UPM. Kejayaan penganjuran PRP 2002 telah merintis usaha untuk menjadikannya sebagai aktiviti tahunan UPM dan ianya terus berkembang sejajar dengan nama barunya yang ditukar kepada Pameran Reka Cipta, Penyelidikan dan Inovasi yang bermula penganjurannya pada tahun 2005.

Sebagai kesinambungan daripada kejayaan penganjuran PRPI 2006, 2007, 2008 dan 2009 yang lalu dan status UPM sebagai salah sebuah Universiti Penyelidikan, PRPI 2011 kali ini yang merupakan pameran penyelidikan yang terbesar di UPM terus dilaksanakan dengan aspirasi dan semangat yang lebih jitu. Pameran ini juga menjadi pelantar kepada para penyelidik untuk mengenengahkan hasil penyelidikan yang dijalankan dan penemuan baharu kepada umum. Di samping itu ianya juga menjadi penanda aras terhadap kualiti sesuatu projek penyelidikan bagi melayakkan para penyelidik UPM untuk menyertai pameran di peringkat kebangsaan dan seterusnya antarabangsa. Adalah diharapkan pelaksanaan PRPI 2011 ini akan dapat menyemarakkan budaya penyelidikan di kalangan staf dan juga pelajar UPM sekaligus menjadikan UPM sebagai Universiti Penyelidikan yang cemerlang di negara ini.

nak tau lebih lanjut, ni laman web rasminya..... http://u-events.upm.my/prpi/

Hipokandriak (hypchondriac)



Hypochondriac is when a person is overly feel the body is not well functioning - over-concern, including morbid attention to the details of the body function ( so detail) and exaggeration of any symptoms of illness no matter how insignificant it is.

I already mentioned about Hypochondriac in the previous entry on MMPI and though it may look trivial, but sometimes its difficult to convince the person that he/she is fine. Because of his/her preoccupation with fear of illness, they sometimes read too much about the illness and obsessed about it. Letih ooooo..... dan mereka ni selalu datang with fakta... and overly sehingga jadi self-centered... cite sikit tentang sesuatu perkara, dia pun citer tentang penyakit tu ada pada diri dia.... and ended up kita yang perlu bersimpati dengan mereka...

Sometimes, orang yang begini, experience persistent fear of having a serious illness despite medical reassurance until they misinterpretation of symptoms even if the symptoms may be vague or specific. Puncanya? Could be childhood experience... lack of attention and have to go through learning process alone ... and that later will develop sense of knowing. The self taught concept make them alert about their own growing.. positively OR negatively.

So apa kita buat? As psychologist, listening is the best way (memula lah) then you have to counter the so called irrational beliefs (and this is the difficult part since they may know a lot more than the psychologist... confrontation technique may be used but... meletih kan... at least for me lah) ... pastu untuk dispute the thinking... arghhhh not an easy task...

Dalam DSM-IV, Criteria hypochondriasis adalah seperti:

1. Preoccupation with fears of having, or the idea that one has, a serious disease based on the person's misinterpretation of bodily symptoms

2. The preoccupation persists despite appropriate medical evaluation and reassurance

3. The belief is not of delusional intensity (as in Delusional Disorder, Somatic Type) and is not restricted to a circumscribed concern about appearance (as in Body Dysmorphic Disorder)

4. The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning

5. The duration of the disturbance is at least 6 months

6. The preoccupation is not better accounted for by Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, a Major Depressive Episode, Separation Anxiety, or another Somatoform Disorder

Treatment:

Since YMRK belajar psychology, tentu laa psychotherapy helps a lot in dealing with clients with hypochondriac...

1. CBT techniques helps too (dah ada dalam entry awal dalam blog ni juga). I think cube selak selah tahun 2009/2008 punya N3.

2. Dalam jurnal, ada kata psychopharmacology membantu...ubat seperti fluoxetine, clomipramine, fluvoxamine, dan imipramine sering diberi oleh psikiatris. Yang ni short cut lah.... mmg berkesan... jgn risau tak akan ada 'keterbergantungan' pada ubat sbb mengambilnya dalam masa tertentu je.. bila dah rasional.....boleh continue dgn psikoterapi..

3. Last sekali..... eksasais.... sbb basically bersenam akan menyihatkan badan so actually mereka akan rasa selesa dengan kesihatan sendiri..


Sedang bercadang cadang untuk buat buku tentang hypochondriac ni... tajuk mungkin cam ni

1. " LIVING WITH HYPOCHONDRIAC" - Panduan pada ibubapa, pasangan, adik beradik, kawan2, psikologis, bagaimana untuk mengendalikan pesakit ni.... amacam??? ok tak??

2. " HYPOCHONDRIAC NEXT DOOR " - sama je its a panduan... cuma tajuk je lain...

3. Novel - berkaitan dengan pesakit nih... tapi YMRK tak kreatif laa sgt nak buat novel... tapi macam bes kan? sbb kan kat Mesia ni.. kalau novel laku oooo boleh buat duit.... (macam kawan YMRK laaaaa) .. buku2 ilmiah nih.. kureng sikit...

So??? cemana??? YMRK ada 3 buku lagi tertangguh ni nak siap kan... dah bercita cita nak buat yang lain.. perghhhhh........ sedar sedar laa diri sikit YMRK. .....

Vertigo ... "am on roller-coaster!"

Pernah tak mengalami Vertigo? A situation when you feel the world around you is tumbling up and down, left and right... as if you are on the roller coaster ride - infinity!!

To the extend sometimes it make you feel nausea and lost of balance.. uishhhh tak larat tau...

If you remember what we have learnt in our science/biology kan ada bahagian yang jaga body balance "ear stone" atau we call otolith organ. Haa... benda ni lah yg terganggu.... as far as I could remember regarding the stone, they did experiments with fishes - and if the stones are moved from the fish's head, iakn tu jadi tunggang langgang... kekekeke kelaka kalau tengok ikan yang ada batu tu dan yang dah di buang batu tu....




Apa sebab berlakunya vertigo ni? Pada pandangan YMRK yang tak beberapa pandai nih... vertigo could be part of migrane (migrane ni ada macam macam jenis... korang kalau sakit kepala jgn sesuka je sebut migrane.. cek dulu doktor... jgn main makan je ubat migrane)... it could be radang leher (cuba rasa kat leher ada dua bijik bola kecil, kalau korang tekan dia rasa sakit... of coz laa kan.. and when its 'meradang' lagi sakit - streptomasin, salisilat -bukan silat gayong ke apa ok!), boleh jadi ear infection ( ni mungkin korang pernah dengar bunyo berdesing dalam tinge)or kekurang oksigen dalam otak (haa ni bahaya.... korang ke pastikan korang byk minum air... bukan air kopi, tapi air putih)

Ada beberapa jenis vertigo ni... macam migrane jugak lah... vertigo ni ada bebrapa jenis 'pusing'. So kalau korang jumpa doktor disebabkan penyakit ni, doktor akan tanya "pusing yang macam mana?" nanti korang kata laaa "macam nak jatuh ke, macam dalam kapal dilanda ombak ke" (tapi kalau doktor tak tanya benda ni dan terus bagi ubat... korang kene laa tanya doktor tu balik - standard laa kan....)

OK... antara jenis pusing atau vertigo ni (a) laryngea (selalu nya disebabkan oleh batuk - batuk je pusing), (b) nocturna (rasa macam nak jatuh-macam org mabuk gile), (c) ocularis (selalunya sbb sakit mata-rasa tak seimbang)dan yang akhir (d)rotatoria (nampak berputar2 sekeliling)

So, apa nak buat? Sebab YMRK pun sebenarnya kekadang diserang vertigo, especially kalau penat, kena ada cara macam mana nak handle masalah ni....

1.Tarik napas dalam-dalam
2.Mata dipejamkan mata
3. Baring ikut posisi yang mengurangkan rasa vertigo tu kalau makin baring makin pusing, duduk.
4.Kalau rasa nak muntah, jangan lah muntah suka-suka.... kesian nanti orang yang jaga kita... minta tolong orang bawa ke toilet ke.. atau cari plastik ke....

Kalau dah lega....

1.Buka mata perlahan
2. Cube mengiringkan badan atau kepala(1-4)



Kalau ada lagi... korang pi laa jumpa doktor... doktor akan kasi ubat (macam meklizin, dimenhidrinat, perfenazin atau skopolamin -benda ni selalu jugak doktor bagi kat pompuan ngandung yg morning sickness - so agak agak laa kan.... kkekekke.

Minnesota : MMPI






The MMPI was developed in the 1930s at Minnesota University. It is a serious and comprehensive personality test so far and normally used by psychologist to detect psychological problems.

This was taken in Minnesota when I went for series of workshops on administering MMPI.

Dr. Graham was giving his key note address and handle the workshop. He is so humble and always smile... nampak garang.. tapi baik.... jap panggil 'Prof' jap panggil 'Dr.' .. jap panggil 'Graham' .... gua pun confuse.....



MMPI has various clinical scales. The scales is use to indicate different psychological conditions based on the scales.

MMPI Scales:

Scale 1 - hypochondriasis
Neurotic concern over bodily functioning.

Scale 2 - depression
Poor morale, lack of hope in the future, and a general dissatisfaction with one's own life situation. High scores are clinical depression whilst lower scores are more general unhappiness with life.

Scale 3 - hysteria
Hysterical reaction to stressful situations. Often have 'normal' facade and then go to pieces when faced with a 'trigger' level of stress.
People who tend to score higher include brighter, better educated and from higher social classes. Women score higher too.

Scale 4 - psychopathic deviate
Measures social deviation, lack of acceptance of authority, amorality. Adolescents tend to score higher.

Scale 5 - masculinity-femininity
Tests for homosexual tendencies. Men tend to get higher scores. It is also related to intelligence, education, and socioeconomic status.

Scale 6 - paranoia
Paranoid symptoms such as ideas of reference, feelings of persecution, grandiose self-concepts, suspiciousness, excessive sensitivity, and rigid opinions and attitudes.

Scale 7 - psychasthenia
Originally characterized by excessive doubts, compulsions, obsessions, and unreasonable fears, it now indicates conditions such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It also shows abnormal fears, self-criticism, difficulties in concentration, and guilt feelings.

Scale 8 - schizophrenia
Assesses a wide variety of content areas, including bizarre thought processes and peculiar perceptions, social alienation, poor familial relationships, difficulties in concentration and impulse control, lack of deep interests, disturbing questions of self-worth and self-identity, and sexual difficulties.

Scale 9 - hypomania
Tests for elevated mood, accelerated speech and motor activity, irritability, flight of ideas, and brief periods of depression.

Scale 0 - social introversion
Tests for a person's tendency to withdraw from social contacts and responsibilities.


Time to time... I will explain each scale in this blog....





Kekononlaaa kan? ....... ni kat Walnut Grove... kalau gi Minnesota jangan tak ke sini pulak...... rugi laaa bagi sesiapa yang tengok citer 'Little House On the Prairie'
